34. open the door (3)

“Huh~”

The cost of renting the unique equipment to Rebecca has been deposited.

I was embarrassed to pay much more than I expected, but don’t worry, I was more satisfied than I sent.

After taking care of the rental fee once again, there was no reason to do business in a general store.

It’s been a while since I said that I would earn enough money to live by billing, and I’ve already collected this.

It was a different level of income from when he caught monsters as a mercenary.

‘No, since I received this amount of income from a pre-investment for 14 years, is it nonsensical to say that I earned a lot in an instant?’

I wouldn’t have been able to open a general store if I hadn’t pulled out these things through constant billing for 14 years.

So, it is correct to say that he earned money in one fell swoop.

Jammin 1 and 2, who had been knocking on the door for a long time, hadn’t come to the general store recently, probably because they had bought everything.

It became a general store that seldom had customers coming again.

Rebecca was so enamored with the unique equipment that she didn’t even think about leaving the private training grounds.

I stopped drinking alcohol that I used to drink every day.

Since I had such a strong will, I thought I shouldn’t interfere, so even when Sasha and I met at the training ground, we didn’t do anything more than say hello.

“Since we got our unique equipment, it’s worth going crazy for a while.”

You don’t know how important these world aristocrats value growth.

In particular, for Rebecca, who has undergone rehabilitation training for 6 years, the unique equipment must have made her spirit soar.

This is because the state, which had been standing still, has finally begun to ‘grow’.

As each of them focused on what they had to do, time passed quickly.

And it was the day when the end of the vacation, when the peaceful day was broken, was approaching.

Shaaa-

A cool rain was pouring down.

Did you think of makgeolli in Pajeon?

Pajeon could be made roughly, but it was difficult to find makgeolli, so I kept my mouth shut.

Then, I couldn’t stand it anymore, so I closed the general store early, bought alcohol, and tried to go back to the second floor.

The moment you open the door to mark it as closed.

I could see that there was a person standing in front of the store.

If it wasn’t for that fate, the day would have passed peacefully and boringly.

“franc?”

“mister.”

“What are you doing while getting rained on like a young monk? You don’t come in.”

How long have you been standing there?

After standing for several tens of minutes, there was no place that was not wet, and it was drenched.

I couldn’t understand why I was standing in front of the store without going inside.

“Are you going to keep standing like that. Won’t you come in?”

The day Fran disappeared.

She seems to have walked out of the general store as if she were about to do something.

I knew that the ordeal would soon come to Fran according to the scenario.

That’s why when we met again, I guessed that at least it wouldn’t be normal.

“Can you make me sleep for just one day today?”

However, Fran’s condition did not look worse than expected.

It’s not that I was mentally out of the alley that day.

I felt a little reassured.

“Can it be done in one day?”

“…Actually, I need a place to sleep for a few more days.”

At my question, Fran quickly changed the time from one day to several days.

Since there was something I had told him before, I obediently opened the door and moved away.

“come in.”

It was raining incessantly, but I couldn’t leave it outside forever.

First of all, I thought that I should take care of my wet body first.

I took a nearby towel and wiped the water dripping off the guy’s body.

“Let’s go up to the second floor.”

“thank you.”

Fran’s expression was somewhat gloomy, but it was also on the calm side.

I think something happened, but I couldn’t guess how far the scenario went.

‘Still, it looks like he hasn’t been hit by the knife yet.’

If that was the case, he wouldn’t have come to me so calmly.

Didn’t he come as if he had lost his soul somewhere like before?

“I’ll leave your clothes in front of the door, so wash up and come out.”

“Yes I will.”

While Fran went into the bathroom and warmed her wet body with warm water, I went to the kitchen to cook something to feed the child.

It was not a delicacy, but the soup was boiled to make it easier on the stomach.

I didn’t know what was going on, but I could guess that he wouldn’t be in the mood to eat.

clap clap clap-

bubbling bubbling.

As the cooking was about to be completed, Fran came out of the bathroom.

“Cool!

I watched Franc come out of the bathroom without much thought, then swallowed the wrong saliva and coughed.

“Why are you…”

“??”

Fran tilts her head at my reaction.

But it’s not like he really didn’t understand my reaction.

I mean, you know what you look like.

“Why aren’t you wearing underwear. Pants!”

“Ah…even my underwear got wet. My pants are too big and keep slipping down.”

“There’s a rubber band, so put on your pants and tie it up.”

“Does it fit both legs in one side of your pants?”

Unlike Rebecca, who was about the same size as me, Fran was so different that she couldn’t wear my pants.

“Even if you say you can’t help but wear a white tee, isn’t it a bit like wearing nothing underneath?”

The center of Fran’s chest bulged out in my T-shirt.

I couldn’t figure out what it was unless I was a man.

“I thought you’d like it, too.”

“Is it something to be proud of?”

He took a deep breath and continued.

“Of course it has to be good. But aren’t you in a position to care about that right now? The subject of Cheongseung was all trembling.”

“lol.”

Didn’t all the young people who were called young people shudder because they were soaked in the rain?

I don’t know where to set the mood.

Frank came to the table hesitantly, as if he had no intention of changing his outfit despite my criticism.

“It’s soup. Can I eat it?”

“I told you to eat it.”

I desperately tried to keep my pupils from going down.

I couldn’t blame him for not wearing wet underwear again, so I had no choice but to try.

“It’s always a nuisance to you. I’ll eat well. I think it will be delicious.”

Pretending to be bright, I eat soup.

I looked at it for a moment and then crossed my arms.

Looking at the gloomy, sinking guy, it must have been something that happened to the church…

“It’s delicious, mister.”

“Well, how delicious. It just tastes like soup. Anyway, what was the reason you were standing there? Did you come here because you had nowhere to go? Asked to be your wife?”

“You haven’t given up on that yet?”

“Of course. Why should I give up?”

“You said you don’t like women who go to church…like that.”

When mentioning the Order, Frank’s attitude was unusual.

The scenario may have progressed further than I thought.

“I don’t like it. But I like you, so I’m going to try to convince you. So you can cause trouble. I’d rather like it. I’ll continue to accumulate favors like that so that one day I won’t be able to refuse you.”

Then, in the end, you will have no choice but to become my wife.

“I won’t abandon the church because of you.”

“You make the listener sad.”

I was enjoying the soup, but after half of what I didn’t like, I twirled the spoon around and didn’t bring it to my mouth anymore.

“…As expected, you don’t like the church, do you?”

ask for the obvious

From noble mtl dot com

“I don’t like it. It’s a church that uses people to make money, isn’t it more strange to like it?”

“…..”

What should I say to a child who is about to be stabbed?

Even if I give you a warning, it won’t work, and you won’t even think about being careful.

“Are you really not interested in being my wife?”

“no.”

too adamant

“Then why do you keep asking what you think of the Church?”

I thought I was curious about your thoughts on the church because I was interested in my wife.

“Was it rude?”

“No. I’m excited. I think you’re interested in me.”

At my words, Fran laughed bashfully.

“I’m not interested in you.”

What you say while smiling prettily is so cold.

“Ah, I was expecting nothing. Then why did you come here? Like a puppy abandoned on the side of the road on a rainy day, soaked wet.”

Moreover, it is also a problem to show such a defenseless appearance now.

If you saw a man, no, how safe I was, would you be comfortable showing me that kind of thing?

“It was because I had nowhere to go. The uncle told me to come when I had nowhere to go.”

I did say that with my own mouth.

“Do you really have nowhere else to go?”

“…”

It doesn’t make sense that there really isn’t anywhere to go.

Isn’t there a church?

Maybe he doesn’t have a place he wants to go.

If I truly had no place to go, I could have accepted it.

But the only time Franc really had nowhere to go was when his stomach was pierced.

Looking at Fran, who had no answer, he continued.

“It’s welcome if you really have no place to go. You can live here for a year or two. I’ll say it again, I’m serious about making you my wife.”

Were my words too heavy?

Fran sighed deeply.

‘No, it’s not like he’s sighing, it’s like he’s breathing heavily?’

Come to think of it…

“Are you sick?”

The child’s complexion looks pale.

Her skin was originally white, but now it’s pale as if she’s sick.

Did he catch a cold from being in the rain too long?

When I asked out of curiosity, Fran finally gave me a straight answer.

“Yes, actually I am sick.”

“Where are you sick? Is it a cold?”

“No. I’d rather have a cold.”

“Then, where are you sick? You have to tell me so they won’t give you medicine.”

Squeak-

“Oh!”

Fran collapsed in front of me asking where it hurts.

It happened suddenly.

Fortunately, because I was close, I was able to hold her in my arms without missing her as she collapsed.

I wondered what kind of lightning this was, so I checked the condition of the child’s body.

“Your body is a ball of fire!”

I didn’t even have to touch it here and there.

Fran’s skin touched by his hand felt warm.

It was absurd that he pretended to be fine in this state.

He lifted her up and carried her into the bedroom.

Awoken people have several times stronger immunity than normal people, so they do not get sick or get sick this much.

If you’re sick enough to be out of your mind like this…

swish-!

I had something on my mind, so I kicked the girl in the stomach.

I knew I could be accused of being a pervert, but I didn’t have the time to argue about it.

And sure enough, my guess was right.
